In a thrilling conclusion to the 2024 Indian Racing League, Goa Aces JA Racing emerged victorious as Raoul Hyman and Gabriela Jilkova secured a 1-2 finish, clinching both the team and car championships. The season finale, held at the Kari Motor Speedway, was marked by intense competition and unexpected turns, with the Korean outfit ending Shrachi Rarh Royal Bengal Tigers' title hopes early in the race.
A pivotal moment occurred at the race's start when Ruhaan Alva, from the Shrachi Rarh Royal Bengal Tigers, collided with Akash Gowda of Speed Demons Delhi, following heavy showers that created a challenging track condition. The incident helped the Goa Aces capitalize on the opportunity, maintaining their lead and ultimately cruising to victory.
In the F4 Indian Championship, Ruhaan Alva's impressive performance couldn't overshadow Aqil Alibhai's consistent season success. Despite Alva's double victory, Alibhai's strategically calculated races and six-season wins secured him the championship. The competition served as a vital platform for Indian drivers, providing exposure and experience at an international level.
